NATIONAL FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS FOUNDATION:

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) was created by federal legislation in 1992 to lead a national effort to remember fallen firefighters from across
the United States. The NFFF website serves as a clearinghouse for information about firefighter fatalities and includes a Roll of Honor containing the
names of U.S. firefighters killed in the line of duty since 1981. The website features a Fire Service Programs section that provides procedures,
guidelines, and other resources that assist fire organizations in preparing for and responding to line of duty deaths. In addition, the Family Programs
section of the NFFF website contains a number of grief support resources for survivors and the Benefits section details federal and state benefits available
to surviving family members. The website also contains information about the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland, and the National
Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend held each October.

Everyone Goes Home is a program developed by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to bring national attention to fire prevention and
safety efforts. Following the Firefighter Life Safety Summit in March 2004, 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives were instituted with the objective
of reducing firefighter fatalities. The Everyone Goes Home website contains instructional materials and testimonials supporting the Life Safety
Initiatives, along with numerous resources documenting firefighter line of duty deaths, firefighter health and fitness, and firefighter safety programs.

UNITED STATES FIRE ADMINISTRATION:

As an entity of the Department of Homeland Security, the mission of the United States Fire Administration (USFA) is to reduce life and economic losses
due to fire and related emergencies, through leadership, advocacy, coordination and support. The USFA website provides access to reports, funding
opportunities, training materials, and other resources in support of the fire service.

The USFA Firefighter Fatalities website contains digitized copies of numerous publications concerning firefighter line of duty deaths, including
detailed annual reports about firefighter fatalities across the United States and a decade-long retrospective study of firefighter fatalities from
1990 to 2000. The website also contains reports on firefighter injuries and firefighter autopsy protocols, as well as up-to-date firefighter fatality
notices and a searchable online memorial.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (NIOSH):

The National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health periodically conducts independent investigations into firefighter line of duty deaths to
formulate recommendations for preventing future deaths and injuries. Through the Firefighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program
website, users can access digitized investigation reports from across the United States dating back to 1984.
